Leveraging Key Performance Indicators to Uncover User Behavior
Summary
You've just dedicated your entire interactive marketing budget to revamp your website, complete with a strategic plan and a top-notch web analyst ready to report user behavior aligned with your business goals. The site is live, and everyone eagerly anticipates the first analytics presentation. But hold on! Before diving into web analysis, it's crucial to understand how key performance indicators (KPIs) can truly illuminate user behavior.
Understanding KPIs
KPIs, or key performance indicators, are metrics that connect directly to your business goals. They effectively communicate visitor behavior and secure executive support when significant website changes are necessary. Your KPI scorecard likely includes basic metrics like traffic volumes, conversion rates, landing page retention, key content visits, and online campaign performance.
While KPIs quantify website activity, they don’t fully explain the "why" or "how" of user behavior. Here’s what you need to consider:
- Who is visiting your website?
- Why are they there?
- What are they trying to accomplish?
- How does their experience affect their view of your brand?
- When will they act on your call to action?
Although interactive campaigns provide insights into customer behavior, there’s more to uncover beyond standard data. Here's how to delve deeper:
Exploring Attitudes and Perceptions
The marketing landscape is now multi-channeled and directional, making online brand building essential. Successful brands reflect positive customer experiences, and online, visitors quickly form opinions about your brand.
Adding pre-visit and post-visit surveys can illuminate how your website experience supports your branding. Identifying shifts in attitudes allows you to make proactive improvements.
Enhancing Customer Experience
Research shows a strong link between customer satisfaction and financial performance. Whether using tools like the American Consumer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) or your own questions, identifying strengths and areas of improvement in your website’s content, functionality, and navigation can highlight opportunities for enhancing customer satisfaction.
Segmenting visitors and integrating behavioral data will help you understand not just what they’re viewing but why. This combined insight is valuable for building loyalty and addressing the "why" questions from senior executives.
Giving Users Another Opportunity
Analyze the paths that lead to conversions and explore why some visitors leave without converting. Ask brief, strategic questions at critical points to understand what visitors seek, whether they found it, and their likelihood of returning. Offering a follow-up call to action can convert missed opportunities.
Don’t Forget Demographics
Incorporate demographic questions into your surveys to gather additional targeting information. This helps identify whether your website’s visitors align with your target audience.
Conclusion
Begin small with your website survey research, using lessons learned to refine your approach. Interactive marketing offers unparalleled insight into customer behavior. By understanding the complete picture, you can enhance your website’s effectiveness and, ultimately, your bottom line.
